Second-To-Die Policy in Mission Viejo CA & San Clemente CA

Ensure the Future of Your Estate.

Between physical assets and financial successes, there are many things that married couples share. Harbor West Insurance Agency, Inc. knows that couples today can easily accumulate wealth in the millions, which means hefty estate taxes in the event of either spouse’s passing. A Second-to-Die policy, also known as Survivorship Insurance, is a type of joint insurance that covers the lives of two people, usually married couples, where the death benefit is not paid until the death of the second insured person.

Under federal tax law*, you are permitted to leave an unlimited amount of personal assets to the surviving spouse, allowing you to postpone estate taxes until the death of the second spouse. While this lets you keep personal assets, such as home or business, within the family, it also means that your beneficiaries may be faced with paying a large estate tax after your passing.

A Second-to-Die policy from Harbor West Insurance Agency, Inc. gives your beneficiaries the means to pay off your estate taxes without having to liquidate the personal assets you’ve worked hard to attain. And because the policy insures more than one person, you’ll also enjoy a lower premium, and the total cost of the insurance will be cheaper than the estate taxes your beneficiaries will be liable to pay.

Due to the specialized nature of Second-to-Die insurance, some limitations may apply. It’s important to discuss your options with an insurance specialist from Harbor West Insurance Agency, Inc. to determine the right amount coverage for you and your family.

I googled this company as I wanted to spend my money locally. I got ahold of Rick Keye about some business insurance I needed. He was very helpful in getting my needs met. Rick even came out to my home to have me sign the papers to get it all started. Rick is very professional and has my business from now on. I recommend Rick Keye at Harbor West Insurance Agency to fulfill all your insurance needs. I rate this company as excellent.

Hi Jay, Thanks for your help last week. Traveler's has been great to work with. They issued a claim right away and are very efficient. The adjuster came by Monday and yesterday I dropped off my car for repair. So far the process has been very smooth. The body shop arranged for a Hertz rental car and I'll pick up my car next week. Thanks again. Hope your foot is feeling better and I'll see you soon, Robin

Steve, I wanted you to know how well Mercury handled my recent claim. They were efficient, returned calls quickly and really could not have been any better. The adjuster, Sean Bowley, not only did his job well but was kind and very helpful in the process. I have to say he is a real credit to Mercury and certainly has to be one of their outstanding employees. I feel confident having Mercury as my insurance carrier for both my home & car. Thank you.
